Using the following query: [https://gist.github.com/1279199](https://gist.github.com/1279199) And seeing this results: [https://gist.github.com/1279209](https://gist.github.com/1279209) I expect to get the event 397 ("Euax Conference") in first position, as the "name" attribute has the highest boost. The problem is I'm getting it as last result, because address is getting boosted for having 2 of the words I did search. I was using my query without constant\_score on address field before and tried to use it to solve this problem but it didn't worked. How can I solve it? My mappings and settings are here: [https://gist.github.com/1279224](https://gist.github.com/1279224) Sorry posting so many links, I don't know If I should make an extense post. Thanks. -- Carlos Eduardo da Fonseca ---

Just to complement, I wish "address" field to receive 5.0 boost independently of how many words the query matches.
